Cops allege tow truck driver dealt meth while working
MCMINNVILLE, Oregon (KPTV) A tow truck driver was arrested over the weekend for dealing methamphetamine while working, according to the McMinnville Police Department.
Police said they received information in Dec. 2020 that Richard Howlett Sr., 53, from McMinnville, was involved in criminal activities.
After receiving a wiretap warrant, police worked with an informant over a three-week period. Police said the informant bought more than two ounces of methamphetamine from Howlett during three separate meetings.
According to police, the transactions occurred while Howlett was either operating the tow truck or at his place of employment.
While law enforcement jobs can often be stressful and potentially dangerous, they’re also incredibly rewarding says Bryan Denton as he ends a 39-year career that concluded with being the longest serving chief with McMinnville Police Department.
